As anglophiles go, I’m not very committed. Sure, I watch Downton Abbey and enjoy the occasional pint of Strongbow cider, and I even lived in England for a year or so back in my youth, but I don’t carry around George Bernard Shaw plays or wear tweed jackets or say things like “litrally.”

But when it comes to food-related television shows, I’ll fly my Union Jack freak flag as high as anyone. Because the Brits make the best food shows.

You could begin and end this conversation with the Two Fat Ladies, which gets my vote as the single best cooking show ever created.
